What our Data Protection and Privacy Policy means to you.
Your privacy is important to us. Accordingly, this policy sets out how The League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital uses and protects any information that you give us when you become a Member of the League.

When you apply for Membership, you give us the following information:

How we use your personal information
We require this information for the purposes of administering your Membership and for sending relevant communications to you.
We will contact you from time to time to notify you of any important developments relating to the work of the League, to send you an invitation to attend the Annual General Meeting or any Extraordinary General Meeting and to send out Membership Subscription Renewal documents.
We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfilment of these duties. As soon as your Membership ceases, for any reason, your personal information will be removed from our records.
Security

Your personal information is not communicated to any other organisation or person.
As a registered Member of the League, you will continue receiving essential documents, newsletters, etc., relating directly to your membership.
